Torchwood Finale

I wanted to do this last night, but had already turned the computer off. However, the delay has not dampened my utter and heartfelt GLEE.

Torchwood Finale was... AWESOME! and  SO HOT!

I can't remember the last time I was so riveted. I sat in attention the whole hour and half, with my jaw literally hanging open. After each scene I thought 'this is surely it, they can't top this' and THEN THEY DID!

The plot! With the creepy Billis who was so obviously evil you'de need to be blind (or work for Torchwood) not to see it. And Tosh being Japanese and yes omg, not popular in 1941 England. And writing equations with her own blood!"

Jack! And the original Jack. And the subtle desperate yearning looks and I was dying. And dancing *cries* I worried so for the original Jack who will get gay-bashed the second the camera panned away, but maybe it was worth it because HOW HOT WAS THAT KISS? I almost spontaneously combusted on the spot!

And Owen! Owen and Ianto (is it wrong that I wanted them to have angry sex?). And Ianto's "Jack needs me". Gwen's scene over Rhys's death was so realistic it hurt, I was bawling like a baby. Owen shooting Jack and then the ending with the tears and the hugs and why the fuck was the Ianto/Jack kiss cut so quickly? Also: Ianto's Brokeback moment with Jack's jacket! *weeps from the slashiness*

THE DEVIL!!! (was that the same devil from DW?). Jack on his knees, screaming! And he died, twice! And then came back, twice. And the FINAL SCENE OMG SQUEE! "Who would have persuaded you?" "The right kind of Doctor." aaaaahhh! People have wanted that to happen so bad but no one believed the ywould actually do it, but THEY DID! When the severed hand started twitching I was all "No Way!" And then we could hear the Tardis sound and I was vibrating with excitement so hard I fell of the sofa (literally) and AAAAAAAAAHHHHH!

WHEN IS THE NEXT SERIES??? Did the devil suck all the extra lives out of Jack? Can he die for real now? Was that really the Doctor? Will Jack beg to stay with him? What makes him not to, in the end? Will Gwen and Rhys make it? Is there any hope for Owen? Is Jack really shagging Ianto? Will Tosh get more action scenes where she can look gorgeous and incredibly well-dressed. Will they ever have a Torchwood orgy with alien sex-pollen? I NEED TO KNOW!

Jack got lovely kissing in this week!! I was glad when he finally did get to make out with himself real Jack. And then with the Ianto kiss of welcome back! so much with the yay.

And the Doctor and Jack seem to have taken the Hand with them! Because having an extra hand around is always helpful...?

OMG Gwen's reaction to Rhys dying broke me. I like Rhys well enough, and I think GWen probably does love him, but I don't think she even remotely respects him. And to see her just fall apart like that was painful. Almost as touching as Ianto clutching and burying his head in Jack's coat.

It was all angsty and highly emotional and so, so pretty!

Because having an extra hand around is always helpful...? you know that there is an entire community dedicated to Jack... and the Hand. As in Jack/Hand. As is i'veneversetfootinsideitdespitemymorbidcuriosity. Uh.

Gwen/Rhys has grown on me a lot. It's nice to see a somewhat realistic protrayal of a long-term relationship (excluding the whole cheating thing) especially in light of one partner having a job they can't relly talk about. There are couples everywhere who can relate to this a lot.

Ianto's Brokeback Moment was quite touching. I though it was nicely in character because Ianto would break down in private, not in front of others.
